There's monarchy where a monarch rules and there's constitutional monarchy. Even when it's a pure monarchy, the monarch doesn't rule on his own but has to deal with the courtiers, aristocracy, grand vizier, and whoever else that want their say.

One reference found with Google. 2006

It's amazing how a nation that was founded on principles emphasizing the rights and strengths of the individual has degenerated into a collectivist mobogarchy in all aspects of life.
wtf does it mean?

If you can figure out what it means, then yes, it's a word.
